This is a 40 year dream to fly in a Cessna L-19 Birddog that came true. We flew out of Cable Airport in Upland, CA with our friend/pilot "Doc", Vietnam Veteran. What made this experience so special was sharing it with my daughter Evelyn. She flew in a Varga with our friend Gunny, Desert Storm veteran and they joined up with us. Evelyn took some great aerial photos while I recorded video. I felt like the 8 year old boy who dreamed of one day flying in a Birddog, but on this day...it was real! The sights, sounds, smells and feeling of flight in this historic aircraft was absolutely amazing, then I look out the left rear window and there is my daughter smiling and waving off our wing. After we landed, I refueled the Birddog and then Evelyn climbed in and flew again for another hour. It just doesn't get any better than that! Special thanks to Doc and Gunny for making dreams come true!
